CHEESE CRACKERS
Cheddar crackers. Cheese wafers. Coins, biscuits, straws and crisps. Known by many names and claimed by many grandmothers, they are all the same, delicious thing: a savory, addictive, shortbread cookie. The key to any short dough - that distinctive tender sandy crumbly texture - is the high fat-to-flour ratio, and this version not only relies on butter but also counts on the delicious fats that come from sesame seeds, block Cheddar and even the oil from the pecans. For a remarkable distinction among the many, many versions of these to be found, toast them until just passing golden into brown, and see how that in itself sets these apart.

Steps:
- Add the flour, both cheeses, salt and cayenne to the bowl of a food processor, and pulse until combined.
- Scatter the cold butter chunks on top, and pulse again to form coarse crumbs.
- Add egg yolk, pecans and seeds, and pulse to combine thoroughly, yielding a coarse grainy meal.
- Transfer mixture to a large stainless-steel bowl. Sprinkle the ice water on top, and knead briefly to bring the dough together, as you would a pie dough.
- Divide the dough into thirds, and roll each into a neat, 8-inch-long cylinder that is about the width of a silver dollar. Wrap each log in plastic wrap, and twist the ends tightly in opposite directions, forming a perfect and compact torchon. Refrigerate until well chilled and completely firm; overnight is ideal.
- Heat the oven to 375. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats. Unwrap the dough, discarding plastic wrap, and slice the logs into thin coins, each about the width of a pencil.
- Arrange the coins in neat rows on the prepared sheets, making sure they're not quite touching one another. This dough won't expand or flatten after baking.
- Bake until golden at their centers and just starting to toast at their edges, about 20 minutes. Check them midway through baking, and rotate sheets if your oven bakes unevenly.
- Transfer the baking sheets to wire racks to cool. Once they are fully cooled, transfer coins to an airtight container, where they will keep for up to 3 weeks.

SPICY CHEESE CRACKERS

11 CHEESE AND CRACKER RECIPES THAT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE
From cosmopolitan.com
Author Charlotte PalerminoPublished 2014-03-04Estimated Reading Time 6 mins
- Bruschetta Crackers. Yes, bruschetta is the equivalent of Italian salsa, but when done right, it's a bright medley that makes you forget you'll be reeking of garlic and onion for the rest of the afternoon.
- Brooklyn BLT Crackers. It's not really a BLT, but it's better, because it has kale, maple syrup, and bacon. Fry up 6 pieces of bacon, getting them as crispy as possible.
- Parsley and Lemon Cream Cheese With Cucumber. If one were to put Kate Middleton on a cracker, this would be it — simple, elegant, and a little bit fancy.
- Guac and Crackers (With Queso Fresco) Guac and chips is a trap. There is never, repeat, never enough guac. Guac-to-chip ratios are always dismal, so here is a recipe to ensure you get optimal portions of the green stuff.
- Chorizo and Tapenade Crackers. This is for the meat lover. These crackers can be topped with either tapenade or grainy mustard. Dealer's choice. Heat a non-stick pan on medium/high heat.
- Caprese Cracker. This mini mozzarella salad is exactly what you think it is. And yes, it's delicious. Grab three plum tomatoes and slice thinly crosswise so you have 12 slices.
- Sweet Potato Puree and Cilantro Cracker. Sweet potato is a magical thing. This root vegetable is good for you, delicious, easy to cook, and pairs with just about anything.
- Lox Cracker. It's like bagels and lox, but conveniently placed on an edible plate you can shove into your face. Finely chop 2 ounces dill and put into a mixing bowl along with 8 ounces cream cheese, salt, and the juice from 1 lemon.
- Ricotta and Honey Cracker. Cheese and honey is one of those matches that makes you feel really, really bad for the lactose intolerant people in your life.
- Hummus and Olive Crackers. Hummus, the dip that lurks at every dinner party, and in every fridge. This is for when you've run home from work, completely blanked on that "casual" dinner you planned with friends, and are scrambling to assemble things that resemble food in 20 minutes.
